Some things to add to your weekend to-do list…

[Charlotte Ballard @KAECounselor]

Our tree, boxes, and hearts are full thanks to the generosity of our Kimberlin Knights and their families. We asked for 100 toys to be donated. Our Knights responded by donating 237 NEW TOYS!!! With tears of joy I have to say, I'm so proud to be a KAE Knight!

[Charlotte Ballard @KAECounselor]

A big "Whoop!" for the Lakeview Centennial Counselors for sending some great college swag for our elementary students!!! These awesome 5th grade Knights stood out while exploring future careers this week, and loved "shopping" for new college gear!

[Charlotte Ballard @KAECounselor]

Oh what fun it is to see our students being so excited about giving toys to those in need! We're forecasting many more toys will be given, @wfaaweather!

[Garland ISD @gisdnews]

Parents, if you have a child who’s currently in 5th or 8th grade make plans to attend our middle and high school magnet open houses this coming week! Tour the campus you’re interested in and explore all the possibilities in our magnet programs! #TheGISDEffect #BeTheLight
